I was a bit confused,” said Chelsea soccer star Cole Palmer after the president neglected to leave the stage following the trophy presentation ceremony.

Donald Trump claimed FIFA President Gianni Infantino gifted him the original FIFA Club World Cup trophy, stating it would remain in the Oval Office. Consequently, Chelsea received a replica after their victory.

They call it football, but I guess we call it soccer,’ Trump said in an interview with a sports streaming channel. 'But that change could be made very easily.'

After the match, which Trump called “a bit of an upset” in a post-game interview, Trump was asked if he could issue an executive order to rename soccer “football” in the United States. Despite the let-down match, Trump lit up when a reporter suggested penning a new executive order officially renaming soccer “football” in the US.
